Do you ever feel like budgeting is impossible because your income changes from month to month? If you're self-employed, work on commission, or depend on tips, you're not alone. Living on a variable income can feel like riding a financial roller coaster—one month you're doing fine, and the next, you're wondering how to make ends meet.But the good news is that God's Word offers wisdom that applies even in seasons of financial uncertainty. Proverbs 21:5 reminds us:“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”No matter how steady—or unpredictable—your income is, a plan is essential.Build Your Budget on What You Know, Not What You HopeMany people make the mistake of budgeting around their best month. Wise stewardship means basing your plan on your lowest or average month, rather than your highest month.Start by reviewing your income over the past 6 to 12 months. Identify your lowest earning month, and use that as your “bare minimum” budget—what it takes to cover essentials like housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, and basic giving.For example, if your income ranges from $3,000 to $6,000, plan your budget around $3,000. When you earn more, that extra income becomes your margin—money you can use to pay down debt, save, or plan ahead for slower seasons.This approach protects you from overcommitting when income drops and helps you live within your means.Create an Income-Holding AccountWhen your income arrives irregularly, timing can be just as stressful as the amount. One simple solution is to use an income-holding account.Here's how it works:Deposit all income into one central account—your “holding tank.”Once a month, transfer your budgeted amount into your regular spending account.This method smooths out your cash flow, allowing you to “pay yourself” a steady income each month. Proverbs 27:23 gives this timeless reminder:“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.”In today's world, that means knowing where your money is, where it's going, and when it's available.Also, if your income fluctuates, an emergency fund isn't optional—it's essential.Start by saving enough to cover one month's expenses, then aim for three to six months over time. Use “boom” months to grow your buffer before adding new spending. When slower seasons come, you'll be able to keep paying yourself consistently.Differentiate Between Fixed and Flexible ExpensesAnother key to managing a variable income is learning to distinguish between fixed and flexible expenses.Fixed expenses—like rent, insurance, and loan payments—stay the same.Flexible expenses—like dining out, entertainment, or travel—can adjust with your income.During lean months, trim flexible spending. When income increases, you can replenish your savings or increase your giving. Remember, self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23), and that includes how we handle our finances.One of the easiest ways to get off track is through “surprise” expenses that shouldn't be surprises—car repairs, insurance premiums, or property taxes.List all your irregular expenses for the year and divide each by twelve. Set that amount aside monthly in a sinking fund, so when those bills come, you're ready. No scrambling. No stress. Just peace that comes from faithful planning.Trust the Provider, Not the PaycheckEven when your income is unpredictable, God is not. Matthew 6 reminds us that our Heavenly Father knows what we need before we ask. He feeds the birds and clothes the flowers—and He will provide for His children.So whether your income changes weekly or seasonally, rest in this truth: stability isn't found in your paycheck—it's found in God's faithful provision.If you're ready to build a flexible, faith-filled budget, the FaithFi app can help.

Once I reach $200,000, I'd like to start investing $10,000 a month in something with greater growth potential, even if it carries a bit more risk. Right now, I'm earning about 4% at the bank. What would be a wise next step for that money?I've just moved into an independent living facility and am in the process of selling my condo, which should close soon. I'll need the proceeds to help cover my living expenses, but I'm wondering—how should I handle tithing on that money?I just wanted to express my gratitude for the way you and your team share wisdom so respectfully and thoughtfully.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a direct look at one of the most unspoken realities in law enforcement: staying in a career out of financial obligation (Amazon Affiliate), identity attachment, or emotional survival—not passion. We break down how many officers find themselves trapped in what's often called the "Paycheck Prison." The benefits are good. The pension feels too close to walk away from. The overtime is necessary. And the identity of being "the officer" feels too deeply stitched into who you are. But staying in a job that's crushing your mental and emotional health has long-term consequences—not just for you, but for your family, your spirit, and your sense of purpose.

Send us a textWhat if your job—loved or loathed—could become worship? We pull back the curtain on a bigger, better story of work, starting with Genesis 2 where God places humanity in the garden “to work and keep” it. Before the fall, work is a gift; after the fall, it's harder; through Christ, it's redeemed. That shift reframes how we see our careers, chores, parenting, and church service. We talk about telling a truer story over our work so our attitude, effort, and integrity reflect God's character rather than our fluctuating feelings.Cody Hall joins us to trace a path away from two traps: work-as-identity and work-avoidance. If your worth rides the waves of promotion and performance, time and fear will betray the idol beneath the surface. If apathy has you doing the bare minimum, love for neighbor calls you higher. We dive into practical diagnostics—follow your hours, inventory your anxieties—and a gospel remedy: rest your identity in Christ so you can labor with freedom. That means you can be promoted without pride, laid off without despair, and steady in the ordinary tasks that keep your world running.We also get honest about the home as our first field of labor. Paychecks don't replace presence. We share simple practices for starting the “second shift” at the front door—prayer for strength, undistracted attention, small acts of service that say “I see you.” From pushing carts to leading teams, from engineering safer streets to sweeping hallways, every task can love your neighbor and honor God when done with excellence and joy. And beyond personal vocation, we aim our energy at the body of Christ, building up the church by the Spirit as we wait with hope. Listen in, reimagine your daily work, and take one step toward worship-filled labor today.

The government shutdown has lasted nearly a month now and there's no indication that Congress is any closer to resolving the budget conflicts before funding ends for several key programs on Nov. 1. Minnesota is home to 18,000 federal workers, many of whom have been told to stay home and not work, or work without pay. This week was the first where many didn't receive a paycheck. Abby, a federal worker in Minnesota, felt the impact Monday when she went to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions. “I double checked my bank account to make sure I had enough to cover it. It was tough, and I knew I had to buy a bunch of other things as well,” she said. MPR News is not sharing Abby's last name, or the agency she works for, because she fears workplace retaliation. To understand the conversations federal workers are having around the dinner table as uncertainty grows, MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with with Ruark Hotopp. He is the national vice president of the American Federation of Government Employees District 8, a union that represents federal workers in Minnesota and other Midwest states.

Early retirement income can feel complicated, but a steady paycheck from savings starts with a simple framework. This episode reframes withdrawal decisions, explains why a fixed 4 percent rule can be too conservative in some cases, and shows when a 5 percent starting point may fit with the right allocation and ongoing adjustments. A million dollar case study turns rates into an annual paycheck while addressing sequence risk and flexible spending guardrails.Taxes do the heavy lifting. Retirement income is taxed differently than wages, with no FICA on non wage income, only up to 85 percent of Social Security taxable, and long term capital gains often taxed at 0 or 15 percent. Blending IRA withdrawals, brokerage draws, and Social Security can produce the same 100,000 dollars of cash flow with a lower tax bill than a 100,000 dollar salary. The discussion covers thresholds, brackets, the higher standard deduction after age 65, and tactics to keep more of the portfolio working.The episode finishes by assembling the paycheck. IRA, brokerage, Roth, Social Security, and pension income are coordinated so deposits match spending rhythms, with room for the retirement spending smile, one time costs, healthcare, and annual tune ups as markets and laws evolve.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

On day 28 of the federal government shutdown, Senate fails to advance a temporary government bill to reopen the government for the 13th time. It is supported by most Republicans but opposed by most Democrats because it does not address expiring Affordable Care Act health insurance premium tax credits; two dozen states led by Democrats sue over the federal Agriculture Department's plans not to release emergency funding for federal food assistance starting this weekend; air traffic controllers, who must work without pay during the shutdown, miss their first paycheck. We will hear from Transportation Secretary & the president of the Air Traffic Controllers Union; President Donald Trump meets with Japan's new Prime Minister in his latest stop on his weeklong trip to Southeast Asia, calling her a "winner" and signing rare earth minerals deal; U.S. House Oversight Committee Republicans release a report on former President Joe Biden's mental fitness and use of an autopen, concluding that certain executive actions, including pardons, are void, and the Justice Department should investigate.

The All Local 4pm Update for Tuesday, October 28th 2025

It’s Day 28 of the federal government shutdown – just a few days away from this becoming the longest-running shutdown in U.S. history… And air traffic controllers working without pay are feeling it. Today, the nation’s roughly 13,000 air traffic controllers are getting their first zero-dollar paycheck since the government shutdown began on October 1. Some of them say they’re considering side gigs, like driving for Uber or DoorDash, to make up for lost income. And thousands of flights have been delayed over the past few days because of controller absences. The shutdown is only the latest in a long list of frustrations bogging these workers down. Understaffing has been troubling the industry for years – including here in Washington state. An aviation expert explains what it takes to become an air traffic controller, the hardships that come with this profession and where the shutdown fits into all of this. Guest: Margaret Wallace, an assistant professor of Aviation Management at Florida Institute of Technology. Wallace also worked as an air traffic controller for the U.S. Air Force for more than a decade.

Federal News Network's Jory Heckman has been following all this, and he joins us now with more.
